Situated within the serene Malahat area of Vancouver Island, this extraordinary project graces the private home of our client. Showcasing sheer grandeur, this fireplace stands as one of the largest we have ever produced, boasting a towering height of approximately 100" on all sides and a striking width of 100" across both openings. The client's vision encompassed a double-sided, custom-built fireplace insert positioned at the heart of their great room, presenting us with the exhilarating challenge of crafting a sizeable mantel to envelop all four sides seamlessly.
After careful consideration, we selected White Limestone as the ideal material for its exceptional consistency in color and texture—a crucial factor given the expansive scale of the mantel. Moreover, White Limestone possesses exceptional thermal properties, making it an excellent choice to endure the heat generated by the full wood-burning fireplace insert. The meticulous installation of this remarkable mantel spanned over four days, ensuring every detail was attended to with precision and artistry. The resulting masterpiece stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of aesthetics, functionality, and technical expertise, captivating all who enter the space.
